ReOrient: The Journal of Critical Muslim Studies. ReOrient is an international, double blind peer-reviewed journal that seeks to publish quality research on the newly emerging field of Critical Muslim Studies. We encourage a decolonial, post-positivist, post-orientalist and post-Eurocentric approach to the analysis of the historical and contemporary political, socio-economic, and cultural processes that are constitutive of the Islamicate in its widest-ranging permutations.
Our news bit.ly/PJNov24 brings the latest @reorient.bsky.social ReOrient Volume 9, Issue 1 special issue on The Qur’an and the Humanities & the significance of a purposefully multidisciplinary examination of the Qur’an & its myriad dimensions. #openaccess @scienceopen.bsky.social @jstor.bsky.social
